Pretty Petites - Happy Birthday

Hi there,

Recently made a birthday card using the recent SAB stamp set Pretty Petites along with the matching Petite Curly Label Punch that is now available to order :)  This card is ideal if you have lots of leftover scraps, something that I don't have with the Twitterpated Designer Series Paper as I love this paper too much to cut into! lol.  Anyway, here's my card below:

Pretty Petites


Stamps: Pretty Petites (SAB 2013), Patterned Party (inside, P.46 set of 7 stamps).
Cardstock:  Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette and Whisper White.  DSP: Twitterpated. 
Inkpad: Riding Hood Red and Baja Breeze.  
Accessories: Petite Curly Label Punch,
SU Bone Folder and Dimensionals.
Card Size:

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your week.

Colour Refresh!

What a shocker of an announcement!


Today, we have some news that Stampin' Up! is having a Colour Refresh!  It’s important for us to stay up-to-date with colour trends so SU are thrilled to share an updated line of colours, and hope you will be as excited as I am by the new possibilities!

Why now? In 2010 we did a big Colour Renovation and shared our plans for smaller colour refreshes every three to five years to keep our colours on trend. Well it has been three years and SU are excited to announce that the upcoming 2013–2014 Annual Catalogue will include 10 new colours (most of which are returning In Colors from previous years)!  SU are welcoming back some of your favourites, moving some colours around and introducing four brand-new colours, so take a look! 

 

Beginning today, all retiring/discontinued colour products (i.e. ink, paper, ribbon, accessories, etc.) will be available only while supplies last. This means that some products will not be available through the retired list period. 

Below are the colours retiring:
Regal Rose ~ Pretty In Pink ~ Bashful Blue ~ Certainly Celery ~ Baja Breeze ~ Riding Hood Red ~ Bravo Burgundy ~ Not Quite Navy ~ More Mustard ~ River Rock

Contact me soon if you'd like to stock up and buy some of your favourite colours that are soon to be gone!

Bye for now,

Alex
